Feminist Quotes Quotes

“Women experience the world as mystery. Kept ignorant of technology, economics, most of the practical skills required to function autonomously, kept ignorant of the real social and sexual demands made on women, deprived of physical strength, excluded from forums for the development of intellectual acuity and public self-confidence, women are lost and mystified by the savage momentum of an ordinary life”

“Being a supporter of feminism means becoming aware of your privilege and trying to break it down every day. It's not "trendy." It's actually a really basic thing, and highly political. And you get no benefit from it, no reward for doing so. It means agreeing to give up the privilege you enjoy as a white cishet man. You have to stand alongside your woman in her fight.”

“See? Nothing changes... The media has spent the past 40 years making announcements about some future "miracle contraception." Articles like that aren't helping to bring about change. We use them to justify just waiting around and doing nothing. It's like: "I swear as soon as there's a pill for guys, I'll be the first to take it!" They make us forget that viable and effective methods already exist! And that if we're even remotely attached to any principles of equity and justice...then it's our responsibility to take part in this movement. Step off of the beaten path, get things moving, and make some headway.”

“Caro patriarcato, le colpe che ci attribuisci non sono del nostro corpo. Hai sbagliato tutto. Non siamo arrabbiate perché abbiamo "le nostre cose", perché siamo isteriche, o perché non scopiamo abbastanza. Non sono gli "istinti misteriosi" a guidarci, né i nostri ormoni. [...] Siamo arrabbiate perché le nostre vite traboccano di desiderio, un desiderio che viene costantemente represso. Così cerchiamo spazi, occasioni, una voce per esprimerlo. Caro patriarcato, ci dici in continuazione che dovremmo essere contente di come stanno le cose, che noi stiamo esagerando. Ci sono le quote rosa, i sussidi di maternità, le leggi di tutela. Ma questo non ci basta: "Vogliamo il pane, ma anche le rose". E non le chiediamo a te, ce le prendiamo da sole.”

“Girls don't fight." The king and his men laughed heartily; Ash glittered with anger, her eyes bright as ice in the moonbeams. "You speak an outrage," she said to Daisy. "What world is it where females don't fight! It must be a world devised by males, where they can triumph unopposed." "-and foully dull it must be," finished the king. "Who wants an unarmed victory?”

“Le idee dell’autoaccettazione, della salute e della libertà individuale hanno qualcosa in comune: pongono fine al dibattito e calano un velo sulle nostre ansie e sui nostri dolori collettivi. Nascondono, oltretutto, gli affari milionari che con una mano lucrano e alimentano queste ansie, e con l’altra promettono di risolverle. Ci fanno credere che ci immaginiamo tutto, che siamo pazze, paranoiche, che soffriamo per sciocchezze che dovremmo poter risolvere senza troppi sforzi. Soprattutto, ci fanno sentire più sole. Sono discorsi che mettono l’accento sull’individuo, nascondendo le forze sociali che strutturano i pensieri più privati sui nostri corpi: io devo imparare ad accettarmi, io devo stare meglio per la salute “e non per l’estetica”, io devo avere fame e privarmi di quel che mi piace perché lo scelgo liberamente. E, se senti che qualcosa non ti quadra o ti fa male, il problema ce l’hai tu: questo tipo di discorso ti spinge in un vicolo cieco.”

“Women have evolved, and we are starting to recognize our strength and the influence that comes with it. We are beginning to realize that in this day and age, submissiveness does not allow us to have the upper hand, but obtaining the respect of a man does.”

“No matter how much a husband loves you, Kirabo, you must buy your own land and build your own house—in case. Most women do it on the stealth, but I say, let him know you are doing it so he knows you have an alternative to his home. Until the law starts to protect us, we must find ways. And Kirabo,” she added, “you should only have children you can bring up on your own. Too many women are trapped in bad marriages because of children.”

“Being a feminist is the way you think, and act accordingly. It’s about respecting women, their freedom and believing in their strengths. Feminism is celebrating womanhood. As a feminists, I do not believe in ‘equal rights’, because at some instances women are far superior to men. There are certain things that men are no capable of doing which only a woman can go through. Therefore, it is not fair to talk about ‘equal rights’. It’s the proper place or the ‘right place’ that a woman should have in the society. Feminism is about giving women the right over their lives, the right and freedom to take their own decisions. The freedom for education, choosing a career, marriage and sexuality. The freedom and right over their body. The freedom of speech, the freedom of expressing themselves.”

“Oh, I don’t know,” Karen groaned, feeling suddenly very feisty. “I just don’t think anyone with a loose appendage swinging between their legs—which we know corresponds to a loose screw in the brain—could ever be trusted with something as delicate as the well-being of someone not similarly encumbered.”

“A man who wants to gain power over a woman must follow the example of women and condition his sex drive. If he succeeds in becoming as cold as she, she can no longer bait him with sex into the role of provider. At most she could offer herself as an equal sex partner, as dependent on him as he is on her. If men could abstain from sex at judicious intervals they might even succeed in normalizing the female sex drive - even make women desire them more than the other way around.”

“We need feminism because degrading phrases like "walk of shame" are commonplace in our social vocabulary, yet these are only applied to women; whereas men in the same situation are praised by their peers and seen as nothing more than " a guy who got lucky", by the rest of society.”

“Why do I call myself the Real-World Feminist? I also bristle at the bullshit labels that come with the term “feminist.” Because we’re not man-hating, humorless PC-robots, and I’m not going to be boxed in by anyone else’s idea of what a feminist is.”

“I take offense at those who want to criticize the feminist movement when they themselves have done nothing to move the needle forward on equality. I am offended by those who are nostalgic about the second wave of feminism or the first wave and claim that today's feminists aren't fighting real wars. Let me be clear: as women, as gender non-confirming individuals, our rights are under assault right this very moment. Our bodies have been sexualized, objectified, touched without our consent; our agency over our bodies is not respected. We are in a perennial state of defense because this is war being waged on us from all fronts.”

“I've made it my mission to be an ally to women in this generation, to break down misogynistic stereotypes, remove walls that divide them, and create a community grounded in us supporting one another. In my experience as a young women, a female business owner, a daughter, sister, and friend, I've learned the being a feminist isn't your own voice, but how you use your stage to encourage and support other women to find theirs.”
